Chapter Two: Scrubbing in Maine (pages 51-120)• On p. 91. Ehrenreich writes that hiring a cleaning person was “not the kind of relationship that she wanted to have with another human being.” What does she mean? How would such a relationship be similar to or different from the one’s that she must have with the person that changes the oil in her car, or the person who cuts the meat that she buys at her grocery store, or the person who cleans the offices in the building that she might work in at her real job? Is society better off because Ehrenreich does not personally hire a maid?
